Excellent, well written book
I will admit that it can be a bit technical for a few folks. His book makes you feel that he is teaching you in a classroom. The citations and references are informative.

This book is the reason I became a neuroscientist
True. Though probably not for beginners, this book is probably good for anyone with alittle college experience in biology. Sapolsky writes in his normal clear, thoughtful style to explore the affects of stress on the brain. The ability of this book to describe a scientific problem and then explore the experiments and the analysis of experiments to come up with a hypothesis demonstrates the ...

An All Time Favorite
This book is hard to classify: Is it autobiography? Primatolgy? Travel adventures? Humanist philosophy? Humor? Basically it is all of these and more. It is a real page turner. Sapolsky has a truly marvelous sense of humor that includes knowing how to laugh at himself. I rank it with in the top 10 favorite books I've ever read. Bravo!

Great stuff, only a little dated
Great science writing designed to reach out to the general public - in particular, students in college who aren't science majors. I use it in my own biology classes as extra credit work for advanced students. The author finds a way to relate biology, and science in general, to the average (highly educated) person's life. The only fault is a bit too much political correctness in some of the ...
